CUSTER TOWNSHIP  Police believe alcohol and speed appear to be a factor in the accident that left a 35-year-old Sandusky man dead late Sunday night after he lost control of his southbound vehicle on Gates Road, south of Forester Road in Custer Township.

The Sanilac County Sheriffs Department reported Andrew Gerstenbergber died from injuries he sustained when his 2001 Chevy pickup went into a ditch on the east side of the road, and then struck another drainage ditch causing it to rollover and land in a field.

Gerstenberger was partially ejected, but unable to get out of the truck. His passenger, 27-year-old John Anton, also of Sandusky, was able to go to a residence and call for help.
